Yellow Lines on ground, a help in identification!
14 Gulls in a show
Adult Number 1. Are any adults Yellow-legged Gulls without yellow legs ? or this Gull is something else? Is this a mongster from Russia ("Greg" Gull) where several adults look well like michahellis?
Eye darkish.
Legs dull fleshy.
Primary pattern more like heuglini type?
Adult Number 2. The real YLG. Yellow legs exactly like background!
Adult Number 3. the case of a light gull. Looks heuglini to me but manyle colour isn't so dark
In my opinion it is a heuglini, another option is Russian mysteries. legs with some yellowish tone:
Adult Number 4.
I think this Gull is a LBBG of the western race graelsii Moult looks complete to me.
Also almost bright yellow legs, unlike heuglini normal colour.
Fine head stripes
and opern eye
Primaries finished moult in December

Although difficult to determine from this only one picture this one is a Baltic Gull
An adult Number 6
Another difficult "heuglini" type bird
